Description
What kind of wine it is
The Tramin Chardonnay from Cantina Tramin expresses a harmonious balance between freshness and softness. On the nose, it reveals a delicately fruity aroma with hints of yellow apple, pear, pineapple and citrus, complemented by floral notes and a slight buttery touch. On the palate, it stands out for its dry and mineral finish, lively and with good persistence. Ideal as an aperitif, it pairs perfectly with vegetarian dishes, fresh soft cheeses and fish-based recipes. The optimal serving temperature is between 10 and 12 °C.
Where it comes from
The grapes grow in Alto Adige, in the areas of Ora, Termeno and Egna. The hillside vineyards are located at the foot of majestic mountain ranges, at an altitude ranging from 240 to 500 metres. The Chardonnay vines sink their roots into soils characterised by a calcareous and gravelly matrix, with significant presences of porphyry. The area's climate is marked by a strong temperature range, where Mediterranean daytime warmth meets the cool night currents from the mountains, favouring an extraordinary aromatic richness.
How it is produced
The process begins with a careful manual harvest in small containers, essential to ensure the integrity of the fruit. After gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 19 °C. To provide structure and roundness, the wine undergoes a partial malolactic fermentation. This is followed by careful maturation in steel in small containers, a choice that allows the purity and clear varietal expression of the Chardonnay to be preserved.

Founded in 1898, Cantina Tramin tells the story of the soul of the South Tyrolean mountains through the dedication of 300 winegrowers.
